Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma turns up at Akhilesh Yadav's house in a rickshaw!

Diwali's here, and along with all the lights, mithaai and celebrations, it has brought along with it the horrific traffic snarls. In order to avoid being stuck in serpentine Lucknow traffic, Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma decided to manoeuvre his way to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's residence on a cycle rickshaw, on 27 October.

Sharma was in Lucknow to receive UP's top state award Yash Bharti from the Chief Minister.

Akhilesh Yadav then took to Twitter, sharing a heartwarming image of himself flanked by Sharma, as a very amused rickshaw wala Maniram looked on.
